b) Which lines are parallel?

2.A Quick Word on Assumption

Things you may not assume:You may not assume that just because two lines or segments look parallel that they are parallel—they must be marked parallel!

You may not assume that two lines are perpendicular just because they look perpendicular—they must be marked perpendicular!

Pairs of angles, segments, or polygons are not necessarily congruent unless they are marked with information that tells you they must be congruent!
